Why Esports?
Esports encourages an inclusive environment.
Students who had never participated in extra-curricular activities prior to esports make up nearly 80% of K12 Esports teams. Gaming does not require traditional athleticism, making it inclusive of all body types and physical ability. Esports even crosses social and gender lines creating opportunities for students to engage with diverse teams.
Esports nurtures social and emotional learning.
Team esports relies heavily on constant communication, collaboration, planning, and execution. Students learn to deal with intense emotions in a competitive environment while being supported by their teammates, ultimately building relationships and self-confidence.
Esports offers opportunities beyond K12.
Think esports is only a hobby? Think again! Currently, there are more than 200 colleges and universities offering nearly $15 million dollars in scholarships to high school students. This creates a new path to higher education for students who had not previously considered continuing their education and even opens doors to post-collegiate job opportunities.
